M World War I Remembrance
1) Wokingham Remembers – A heritage trail of the War Memorials of
Wokingham Borough Towns and Parishes.
Wokingham has a long tradition of supporting the World War I Remembrance Day,
a Memorial Day observed in Commonwealth of Nations member states since the
end of the First World War to remember the members of their armed forces who
have died in the line of duty. Raising funds for the armed forces via the selling of
“poppies” is part of Wokingham’s heritage.
2014 represented the 100 year anniversary of the beginning of World War I and as
a result this heritage guide was produced by the Town and Parish Councils
documenting the 20 memorials within the borough. In 2018 the banners that were
created were brought together again to mark the centenary of the end of the war.
2) WWI Centenary Poppy Badge
This is a special “Poppy Badge” marking in 2018 the centenary of the ending of
World War I.
